Chapter 697: Death messenger

Within Yanzhou.
An undercurrent that no one noticed was surging.
Because of this sudden heavy rain, the long streets have long been empty, and the market has closed ahead of time, as if it were in a dead silence.
However, in the depths of the heavy rain, a very strange bird cut through the rain curtain and flew across the East Street in a very unbelievable way to the outside of a big house.
This place is called'Yuncheng' and it is an extremely important city in Yanzhou. Because it occupies the widest commercial road in Yanzhou, extending in all directions, it has become a transit point for Yanzhou's commerce and trade. The prosperity here is almost close to that of the main city, and in some respects even stronger than the main city.
In contrast, there are also many Yanzhou families in this city.
For example, the behemoths like the Hou's family are all managed in many places here and have taken root.
Not only that, but there are also some families who were born and raised in Yuncheng, occupying most of Yuncheng's resources, and turning this city into a seemingly delicious and attractive, but in fact, it contains fatal and dangerous ‘fat’.
Even families like the Hou family did not dare to easily expand their influence in Yuncheng. In the past, in order to save the face of Lord Hou, those Yuncheng families would still let the Hou family drink a sip of soup, which means "protection fee", but now Hou The family has lost Lord Hou. Although the family is still the strongest family in Yanzhou as a whole, in a place where every inch of land is contested like Yuncheng, the face of the Hou family is worthless.
In other words, the Hou family in Yuncheng has had a miserable life.
If it weren't for those aristocratic families who still had some anti-rats, now they were afraid that they would kick the Hou family out of this plate, and would not even give them a bit of ground meat.
Huh!
Just when the whole Yuncheng fell into a weird silence, the pitch-black bird that fell in front of a mansion on East Street suddenly screamed.
The sound pierced the rain curtain, making people shudder.
"Where is the strange bird?"
The guard in the mansion seemed to perceive something, and felt a little weird. Through the observation position, he frowned at the pitch-black strange bird, frowning and clasping the communication jade slip on his waist. Whenever there was anything wrong, he would directly address himself. Letters from colleagues.
At this moment, the pitch-black strange bird in the rain screen spread its wings, shaken away countless splashes, and turned its head, tilting its head to meet the guard's line of sight.
"wrong……"
This guard was also a warrior at the peak of Tongxuan. The moment he met the strange bird, he immediately realized that it was not good.
But his eyes soon became blurred.
There seemed to be red light blooming.
Wait, red light?
The guard reached out his hand and touched his eyes, but what started with was a blood red, which was washed away by the rain in an instant.
He was shocked, and then he felt a little fuzzy in his consciousness.
"What's wrong with me?"
He wanted to open his mouth and shout, but he couldn't make any sound.
Immediately afterwards, a crack opened up between his eyebrows, as if someone had lightly traced a red line with a paintbrush.
boom!
A body crashed to the ground, splashed with a large amount of water, but it was covered by the sound of rain, and no one was disturbed.
Even...Even the guard at another sentry a dozen steps away from him didn't notice anything wrong.
Huh!
The pitch-black strange bird spread its wings and screamed again.
Only this time, it flew up, passed the high wall of the mansion, and sneaked into it through the gap created by the fall of the guard.
Then the strange bird began to swell, like a cloud of ink, quickly turning into a figure.
His face was covered with a cold visor.
Earth Element Mask!
"Blackbird, your movements are slow, are you old?"
As he walked under the rain canopy, a somewhat hoarse voice sounded.
From the opposite side, a man who also wears the earthen faceplate came, and in his hand, he also carried a blood-stained short sword.
Even the heavy rain couldn't cover up the smell of his body.
The Earth Element Killer, known as the Black Bird, looked at him, was silent for a moment, and then said, "This is my mission."
"You crossed the line, murderer."
The'murder ghost' laughed, "The leader attaches great importance to Yuncheng, and has sent a full ten local killers to help assassinate important personnel. Not only I have crossed the boundary, but the monsters that have been suppressed for a long time are crossing the boundary."
Throwing away the blood on the dagger, the ‘murder ghost’’s voice was hoarse as if it were a real evil spirit,
It’s a pity that this family doesn’t have a strong opponent. After all... not everyone is lucky enough to assassinate the master.

"Master of Yuncheng, someone will solve it."
The black bird closed his eyes, his divine mind sensed his goal, and found that the other party was indeed dead, and then said: "This is a real big operation, and it is also one of the few collective tasks in the history of the region. Grandmaster-level goal, that is the mission of the Celestial Killer. If you want to die, I have no opinion."
"Oh, you are really unkind."
"It's the same as before."
The murderer didn't care about the indifferent attitude of the black bird, and spoke frivolously in a hoarse voice, which seemed particularly strange.
Blackbird took a deep look at him, then turned to leave.
The murderer said: "I don't want to reminisce about the old when I rarely see old friends?"
As he spoke, his footsteps moved, and the short sword had already pierced towards the back of the black bird!
Click!
The figure of the black bird suddenly turned into a pool of ink, and then recondensed into a human form a dozen steps away.
Standing silently in the rain, he said indifferently: "This action is to make the Heaven Swallowing Kingdom recall what the word "Dibu" means. It is of great importance. I don't want to mess with you."
"How can this be called nonsense?"
The murderer pierced the air with a sword, unspeakable loss and regret, licked his lips and said: "The winner gets everything, and the bones of the loser are gone. This is the ‘experience’ you taught me."
"Are you really old?"
"Master?"
The murderer called out the long-lost name.
Blackbird also fell silent.
Then he said: "Go, murderer, engrave the name of the land on the bones of those people, so that they will remember - and never forget the horror of the land."
"Go, my best disciple."
After saying this, the black bird once again transformed into a cloud of ink and turned into a black flying bird, breaking through the heavy rain and going to the location of the next target.
The murderer stared at the black strange bird and turned into a black spot that was so small that it was difficult to detect. The eyes under half of the visor were loose, and he sneered: "The old guy is the old guy, the glory of the place, oh, really. Old boring trick."
"who!"
After Blackbird left, the weird atmosphere that enveloped the entire mansion suddenly disappeared, and finally someone found the trace of the murderer.
The guard of the sentry yelled and was about to smash the jade slip of communication, but the murderer slid his footsteps. Suddenly thunderous explosion sounded from the rain screen, and the large area of ​​rain was forced to turn, forming an arc-shaped impact. After a drop of rain was accelerated, it turned into a murder weapon, and a dense blood flower burst out of that guard body in an instant.
The next moment, the murderer's figure appeared behind him like a ghost, and a sword cut open his throat, directly suppressing the scream that had been brewing in the middle.
After one blow, the murderer cut his heart very ‘kindly’ again, and didn’t let him continue to suffer.
"Hey, it seems that my skills are not as good as yours, Master."
The murderer seemed to be annoyed by the exposure of his whereabouts, and after an unexplained sigh, he jumped off the guard post and received the short sword in the sheath behind him, humming: "I want the world to remember the terrible horror of the land. , You should throw yourself into the arms of terror first."
"After tonight, the terrifying name of the land will resound through the Holy Kingdom of Swallowing Heaven."
"And I will be the best among them, the messenger of death,"
After saying this, the figure of the murderer gradually faded until it merged with the rain curtain and was no longer visible. After the heavy rain, there were only a few unnamed tunes that represented him. The hummer is in a very good mood.
...
At the same time, not only Yuncheng, but also several big cities within Yanzhou, all started the assassination under rainy night at the same time.
The first ones who died were the heads of some small and medium-sized families. Without exception, these people had participated in the ‘big event’ of the assassination of King Yan.
When someone noticed this, the first dish was served, and the real banquet had just begun.
